When Suzanne Poulsen received a call from her daughter’s elementary school informing her Ashtyn was sick, she knew something was seriously wrong. Ashtyn had been sick with flu symptoms for about a week-and-a-half and had spent most of her time in bed, missing several days of school.

For Utah resident Ted White, the past 13 years of his life have been like being on a treadmill. “You think it’s over, and then it’s not over." He spent five years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He went through three trials and to several courts to get his conviction overturned. “I think proving conspiracy is very difficult to do, and we were able to do that with a jury of my peers that heard the evidence,” he said.

Recently, a friend of a friend had any mother’s worst nightmare come to pass: her daughter went missing. Police originally labeled the disappearance as a runaway case, but from the get-go Indica Huddleston‘s mother, Andrea, felt that perhaps foul play was involved. Regardless of what the police are labeling the case (it may be updated to an endangered person’s case), Andrea did what any mother would do. She poured her heart, soul, and time into doing all she could to try to bring her daughter home. But she hasn’t stopped there. She’s also allowing God to pour truth and strength and light into her, and taking time to capture the truths that are coming. These quotes come from a post on her blog, Smile of Paradise.

An article by a German astronomer reports that radio astronomers today discuss as a distinct possibility inter-planetary conversation between earth-bound men and creatures on other planets; he "demonstrates" with intricate mathematical logic that planets suitable for life may be fairly common among the stars, and that there are "perhaps ten civilized communities within 1,000 light years of the earth," and "there may well be creatures intelligent enough on some of those planets to transmit radio messages across the enormous distances of interstellar space."

Indie America is a PBS Digital Studios web series, exploring the diverse and colorful people who live in all corners of the country.

A faith that began in upstate New York is taking its message to the four corners of the earth. With nearly 320,000 members, Africa is one of the fastest growing places in the world. Though the geography may be different, Church members in Africa and elsewhere are bound together by a devout belief in Jesus Christ that manifests itself in their lives. The Farmer

You’ve been quite open about your Mormon faith — you’ve even drawn an adaptation of The Book of Mormon. Had you always been part of the faith, or did you arrive at it later as part of that existential search for meaning that you mentioned? Do your beliefs inform Frank? MA: That also was subconscious. My parents got divorced, which is extremely rare in the Mormon Church. I think there’s like a five-percent divorce rate for couples that have been married in the Mormon Temple —

Kimberley Brown Sorenson, known affectionately by her friends as “Brown”, was born on the border in spicy El Paso, Texas. She was raised by wonderful parents who instilled the Four F’s: Faith, Family, Friends, and Football. Brown attended LDSBC and served a mission in the heartland of Wisconsin where she milked cows, sampled delicious cheeses, and taught the gospel to some fine folk—Go Packers! For four years she was a nanny for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver where she loved their kids and traveled the world. Brown is a single mom to four great kids and spends A LOT of time cheering her son’s football team and applying red lipstick to her daughter before dance recitals. Brown would kill a man for a street taco and a Diet Mountain Dew, extra ice. You will always find Peanut M&M’s in her voluminous purse, along with enough hair and makeup supplies to ready a professional theater group. Her gift of faith has been an anchor to her in the many hardships she has faced. The most true thing Brown knows is that the Holy Ghost speaks to us and lets us know what is right and what is wrong.
